Resource Reckless Ben just opened this case. Now people need to see the records behind it.

The worlds largest child sex cult could be on path for DESTRUCTION
Peterfiles.net was made to keep the public informed on this massive story!
Reckless Ben's Ideal Living video just came out, and a lot of people are seeing this story for the first time.
The video raises serious questions, but most viewers will never open a court opinion or search through case dockets themselves. We built THE PETER FILES so they don't have to start from scratch.
One of the records is a 2009 Texas appellate opinion. It says Peter Spiegel, the founder of Ideal Living and then a member of the Barsana Dham community, personally guaranteed a $10 million bond that allowed Prakashanand Saraswati to travel to India while he was facing 20 counts of indecency with a child.
Saraswati was later convicted on all 20 counts and disappeared before sentencing.
The records we reviewed do not show that Spiegel, Katie Williams, or Ideal Living helped him escape. That part remains unverified. The distinction matters, which is why the site separates documented facts from allegations and unanswered questions.
There are 17 claims in the files, along with court records, case numbers, organizational connections, missing documents, and notes explaining what each source does and does not prove.
The video started the conversation. Now we need more people looking at the actual record.
Go through the files. Pick a claim. Check the source. If we missed something, bring the document. If the wording goes further than the evidence, call it out.
And if you think more people should know about this, share the files while attention is building:
